I like a bit of French, but mostly listen to older stuff and blokes/bands so all this is new to me as I am a bit out of touch with what is going on over the channel.

Spotify seems a bit light on French music though, hopefully a gap that will be filled over time: no Elmer Food Beat, only two CharlElie Couture albums, only one Yannick Noah, etc.

Looking on the bright side - no Michel Sardou :) Lots of 113 though.

I was thinking of adding some of the French electro-pop stuff I like, such as Yelle or Telex (OK - they are actually Belgian) but it would feel like an act of vandalism with such a refined selection. I'm not familiar with any of the artists but very much enjoying it!

Thanks for posting this.

Cheers

Or can they just sing in French.. I was thinking les Vulgaires Machins who hail from Montreal?

There is so much cajun stuff in french that this may subvert what you are seeking. Just a wee warning.

are not to be missed. Someone recommended this series to me, and although it's hard to find (I got it from Amazon.fr in the end), it's well worth it. Acres of the grooviest pop from the Swinging Parisien scene.
